To investigate the value of three-dimensional shear wave elastography (3D-SWE) in predicting axillary lymph node status of breast cancer.
Methods:
From March 2019 to September 2020
121 breast cancer patients with 121 nodules confirmed by pathology and immunohistochemistry were selected in Dalian Central Hospital affiliated to Dalian Medical University. Maximum elasticity (
E
max
)
mean elasticity (
E
mean
)
elastic standard deviation (
E
sd
) and ratio elasticity (
E
ratio
) values of three orthogonal sections (cross section
sagittal plane and coronal plane) of 3D-SWE were measured
and the correlation between 3D-SWE quantitative parameters and axillary lymph nodes of breast cancer was analyzed.
Results:
Among 121 cases
39 axillary lymph nodes were positive and 82 were negative. The results of the analysis between the two groups showed that the tumor size

values of breast tumors were significantly different (

values between the two groups (

3D-SWE quantitative parameters and their combined diagnosis of axillary lymph node metastasis were 0.609
0.735
and 0.744
respectively. The difference between two-dimensional ultrasound and 3D-SWE quantitative parameters was statistically significant (
P

values were not statistically different in AUC (

Conclusion:
3D-SWE quantitative parameters predict breast cancer axillary lymph nodes better than conventional ultrasound. The combination of the two complements each other provides valuable information for clinically determining treatment options and predicting prognosis.
Predictive value of conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound for efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer
The value of CEUS and SWE in differential diagnosis of carcinoma minute-medullary thyroid carcinoma and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma
Analysis of influencing factors of missed diagnosis and underdiagnosis of breast cancer by preoperative ultrasound combined with pathological characteristics
